Subject: Backwardation hedge strategy

Vince,

I am sending via internal mail samples of a hedge strategy that may offer
opportunity to store commodities in a backwardated market. I would like your
opinion as to if this strategy works, and if it is practical (ie cost of
hedges and complexity of execution/ monitoring is reasonable). If you think
there is value, or have other ideas along the same lines....we are very much
need of such a risk and inventory management tool for several deals we are
originating.

We seek a cost effective method to manage backwardation while storing large
quantities of petroleum products for 3-5 year deals. The inventory stored in
tank will turn over, but continuous, large, minimum operating balances are
required (1 million barrels of gasoline and 2 million barrels of crude oil).

Thanks for your assistance,

If there is any question, please do not hesitate to call. I will be on
vacation from June 29th pm - July 11th. In my absence, please contact Tim
Battaglia.
